must remain intact, that the charter
passed by the Manitoban Legislature
for the establishment Of railway com
m~unication between Winnipeg and
The United States frontier had been
disajlowed, that Ssuch disallowance
must take effect; and that the con-
struction Of The railway must certain
" be stopped. On being asked what
force he would employ, since The Ca
madam volunteers would not be likely
10 take up arms in such a cause, SIR
John Macdonald replied that the Go
yernment would apply for The ser
vices Of British regulars for the pur-
bose. The Premier proceeded to
explain that the Imperial War Office
had devoted much attention 10 the
Canadian Pacific Railway as a mill
tarv line in the event Of war, the
country through which it passed con-
tanning many strategic points, the
chief Of which was Winnipeg. Here
it had been decided to establish a
strong garrison, the first contingent
Of which would shortly arrive. In
conclusion tue Premier said

In the farm, social and home life is where

bounty of these people In the first place
poor Pennsylvania Dutchman is rarely found.

They are the best farmers on earth without
qualification; their barns are wonderful

homes are shining nests in bowers of fruit
and bloom; their grains, vegetables, butter
and fowls are the finest that come TO market:
their animals are the sleelest and plumpest
to be found, and while thrifts hard hand

Mr.. Depew and the English Lord.

Apropos of English lack of humor, the fol-
lowing good story is told by Ben Butterworth
on the Hon Chauncey M. Depew:
Depew was visiting London on one occa-
sion and was entertained at a dinner of the
lords of the realm Being called ON for a
speech, he began by saying that he arose with
much embarrassment before such company
for the reason that his friend Gen. Horace
Porter, who usually wrote for him the re-
marks he made ON such occasions, was absent.
He then went on to make the best of the sltu-
alton and made what he thought was fairly
funny speech; but not sign of appreciation
was given, and he sat down feeling that he
had made failure. His feeling was verified
when be heard the presiding lord express sor
row that Mr. Depew was deprived OF the as
sistance of his friend, for they had understood
he was a capital after dinner speaker.
Two days later he met this presiding lord,
who said:
40, Mr. Depew, do you know that have
come up to London expressly to say to you
that did not see the humor of your speech
until the day after the dinner. am sorry
we were all so stupid, but now we all agree
that it was n capital Speech and that we
wasted our sympathy in taking your refer
ence to your friend Porter as in earnest"
"My lord" said Depew, "did you ride to
LONDON on a freight trainp
"No, OH no." said the lord in tone of sur
prise, 81 came on the passenger train.
never ride on freights,"
Four days later Mr.. Depew was astonished
to see this lord in Paris.
II have come" said the lord, expressly to
tell you that never saw the point of your
question about my riding to London ON a
freight train until the next day; why, sir,
that's a finer bit of humor than the other
about your friend Porter"
Mr. Depew was satisfied that to scatter
humor among the English was unsatisfactory

!sThe isthmus at present. said a gentleman
who had just returned after two months
miserable soiourn ON the isthmus, is the
most undesirable place to live en- that know
of. Nothing could drag me down there
again The early days of California, with
their scenes of hardship, robbery and death.
wouldn't hold candle to the condition of
affairs at Panama. One lives under con-
slant strain of excitement and the work ON
the canal, with the fair rate OF wages that IS
paid, has attracted to the spot the offscouring
of the earth. Night is turned into day, and
the scenes of debauchery and unlicensed re-
straint do rot end with daylight The sums
of money that are being spent there are al
most fabulous when the results are con-
sidered The most valuable machinery,
which has cost thousands upon thousands to
bring there, is going to ruin. Money seems
to flow plentifully from somewhere, and no
one seems to care to hoard it when it gets
there Lifeg Lives are considered of less
value than the machinery, and that's not
saying much.
ave arrived there Just about the time
several United States war vessels dropped
anchor in the harbor They had been sum
moned to the spot to protect the interests OF
an American who had been arrested Tor
murder and who it was feared would be dealt
little mercy. He had been conductor ON
the railroad which runs across the isthmus.
The conductors, by the way, are pretty
tough lot, must admit In fact, the ability
to take hard knocks and shoot well are about
the only qualifications required. The supply
is generally secured in Texas. For bell
punches the conductors, as might be sup
posed, carry the regulation 4S-cahber re-
volver. When the natives around the stations
along the road are spelling for fight they
board the trains and refuse to pay their fares
This diversion relieves the monotony of their
existence as well as that of the conductors.
The man who had been arrested had run
across sample loe of this kind one day. The
fare was demapied and refused. texans,
that is the dyed in the wool kind, are not
easily bluffed. SO our man, giving his re-
volver hitch, told the crowd it was fares or
no ride. As lie turned to reach for the bell
rope one of the Isthmians drew his ever ready
knife and sprang at him. There was no time
for delay, for the train was fairly well
crowded with the fellows countrymen, and
indecision meant death and the loss of the
fares too. So, true to his employers, the con-
ductor drew his pistol and punched his fare
with a great round hole. And he held the
whole crowd at bay until he delivered himself
to the authorities, such as they were. ldont
know how it was, but the war vessels hadn't
been there for any length of time before the
conductor had escaped. They said he had
bribed his iailers. -"Obsefver" in Philadel.

Enclish Civil Serrice.

The looseness of the English civil service is
shown by the recent discovery that a pension
has been paid for thirty-Gve years after the
death Of the person entitled TO it. An officer
retired from the customs service in 1916 at
the age of 81, and lived for seven years after
ward. His widow went as usual for the
money, and received it during the twenty
three years that she survived him; then the
daughter entered into the inheritance with
out dispute, and enjoyed it for twelve years.
